Babcock MCS España set up the first medical helicopter in Spain in 1986. Inter-hospital transfers, medical assistance and search and rescue operations are the main services carried out with its fleet of medical helicopters, made up of the most modern helicopters on the market.

At Babcock MCS España we are also specialists in offering a national and international air ambulance service using airplanes. We have a modern fleet of medical transport airplanes equipped with the most up-to-date medical technology and the best-qualified teams in order to guarantee the highest level of safety and personalized service during medical transfers.

Furthermore, along with the ﬂight crew, medical staff play a crucial role, since they are able to provide initial care at the site of the accident, look after the patient during the transfer to the hospital and inform of their condition to the doctors who will treat the patient at the hospital.

Search and rescue activities started in 1990, being the first company in Spain and the second in Europe to set up this service. Services involving search and rescue at sea, medical evacuations, fight against pollution of the sea, control and assistance for maritime traffic, tugboat services and distribution of naval warnings are some of the tasks faced by Babcock MCS España crews.

Babcock MCS España provides services for the prevention and fighting of forest fires in Spain on behalf of the Ministry of the Environment and in a number of Regional Governments such as the Canary Islands, Andalusia, Extremadura, Castilla la Mancha, Murcia, the Valencian Community, Madrid, Aragon and Galicia. The company has also 5 helicopters and two amphibious aircraft which undertake operations against fires in Portugal.

Every year, Babcock MCS España deploys nearly 100 specially equipped firefighting aircraft across a number of bases throughout Spain, Portugal and Italy. The firefighting season involves more than 500 professionals, including pilots and aircraft maintenance technicians, who are highly qualified in firefighting and fire prevention.

The extensive experience accumulated during our service to oil platforms, together with the development of this activity in the Mediterranean region, have resulted in INAER's helicopters operating for companies such as Repsol YPF, ENI, Shell, Saipen and Premier Oil, among others. They have trusted transport services for passengers, provisions and materials for their platforms.

The activity of maintenance of helicopters and airplanes is a key centrepiece for Babcock MCS España. At our Aeronautical Maintenance Centres we not only carry out full maintenance of our fleet but we also offer the service - backed by more than 50 years of experience - to third parties. Babcock MCS España is a Service Station Centre for the principal worldwide manufacturers of helicopters and engines..
